Default Got something in the mail today..
Johnny sent me a bunch of stickers today..
I got like 50 of these in boxes


Strange...
Ok enough.

Here she is:






Woot! They AME Shallen AX if you didn't figure it out yet. The specs are 20x9 and 20x10. Offset is +35 all around. Nothing too agressive, although I had to run some smaller tires. 245 front 255 rear. We tried the 285s in the rear and it rubbed. Time to roll the fenders more... It's lowered a little over an inch maybe 1.2 or 1.3 inches using adjustable links. Unfortunately I lost TPMS for the time being...



Someday it will be more aggressive. That's all for this season, after the winter it will be lowered a lot more..

Let me know what you guys think. Good start? BIG thanks to Johnny Better pics coming soon..Looks better in person too

Mike
